Blue Skies and Golden Exhalations

"Even before leaving the dock a curious Harbor Seal gave us a great look as he cruised on by! Once outside the marina it wasn't long before Captain Carl spotted the golden exhalation of a Gray Whale off the north end of Gedney Island! The blow belonged to none other than our old friend Patch, #49. He gave us great looks as he made his way northward showing off his collection of barnacles! Our guests learned quickly why we call him Patch when he came along the port (left) side of the Island Explorer 3 showing off his giant white patch on his back! Our guests also enjoyed visiting with rafts of Western Grebes, Pigeon Guillemots, Rhinoceros Auklets, and Glaucous-winged Gulls all while enjoying blue skies, warm sunshine and an incredible look at the Olympic Mountains!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
